miradu

These French fries are fried twice for the perfect combination of crispy exterior and fluffy interior, then tossed in a savory blend of a salt substitute and aromatic herbs and spices. This method gives you golden fries with bold flavor, perfect for snacking or as a side to your favorite meal. The finishing touch of parsley adds freshness and a pop of color for visual appeal. Enjoy them hot and crisp, just like your favorite bistro.

Ingredients

Instructions

Peel the potatoes (if desired) and cut them into thin fries, about 1/4 inch thick.
Soak the cut fries in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat dry thoroughly with towels.
Heat the oil in a heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).
Fry the potatoes in batches, without crowding, for 3-4 minutes, just until lightly golden. Remove and drain on a wire rack or paper towels.
Increase the oil temperature to 375°F (190°C). Fry the potatoes again in batches for another 2-3 minutes until crispy and golden brown. Drain well.
While the fries are still hot, toss them in a large bowl with the salt substitute, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
Transfer fries to a platter, sprinkle with chopped parsley if using, and serve immediately.
